In 1995, the Texas Trees Foundation dedicated Pioneer Plaza to the City of Dallas providing a focal point with historical significance for downtown Dallas. The Plaza commemorates Dallas' beginnings by celebrating the trails that brought settlers to Dallas. The site features native plants and trees and a flowing stream in a natural setting and a re-creation of a cattle drive in bronze with longhorn steers being driven by three cowboys on horses. Each piece of bronze art was created by artist Robert Summers of Glen Rose, Texas. It is located adjacent to the Dallas Convention Center at Young and Griffin between the historical Pioneer Cemetery and the Dallas Convention Center. Pioneer Plaza represents the largest public open space in the central business district.
Other features of Pioneer Plaza include a waterfall, man-made cliffs, native plant life and the small historic details on the sculptures.

"Amazing works of Art"

Reviewed April, 2022 by proudmominhawaii13

Longhorn cattle like you have never seen them before. 49 in total! And 3 wranglers. All in beautiful bronze. Really use your imagination, and you will see them crossing the Red River

"Sculptures of a different kind"

Reviewed April, 2022 by SreejithSreekumar

It's setup in a different manner. It has a flow to it and does not feel like a normal set of statues. Good to spend 10 minutes at the place.

"Nice statues but that’s about it."

Reviewed March, 2022 by 307jessev

This park was a neat little park in the downtown Dallas area that had some interesting statues of cowboys and cattle. There wasn’t really anything to do and it was really big enough for a good walk...
